Tell me about this city's history.
|
Anger 50
|
What? I have better things to do than yak about those back-stabbers up topside. Now get going!

Please, it's very important. It's for a book about the Wasteland.
|
Neutral 50

Like I care what you savages read? Shove off and leave an old man to rest in peace.

|
But you've been here for so long. You must know something...
|
Anger 50
|
Feh. I know lots of things, but you've got no idea about most of them. Now get going, before I stop talking and start shooting!

| MS03RCHistory2Special
|
I hear you're the only one who knows the truth about Rivet City's founding.
|
Disgust 20
|
Hah! Sounds like you've been poking around, all right. I'm surprised any of those reprobates even remember me.
|

|
| Disgust 40
|
Maybe they still laugh about how they edged me out of the council, back then. But you can set the record straight!
|
5
|
| MS03RCHistory3A
|
Setting the record straight is exactly my goal.
|
Happy 50
|
For that, you have to go all the way back to when remnants of the Naval Research Institute cleared the Mirelurks off this wreck about 40 years ago. {Pinkerton is proud of his moment of glory.}

|
We were looking for new lab-space, and this bucket of bolts just happened to have a well-preserved science bay on it.
|
7
|
| Happy 25
|
Everything else just grew up around that lab once we got it up and running. The science team was led by one "H. Pinkerton." {Almost insufferably proud}
|

|
| MS03RCHistory3B
|
You were on the City Council? That's hard to believe.
|
Happy 50

Well, start believing or start walking! Remnants of the Naval Research Institute cleared the Mirelurks off this wreck about 40 years ago.

| MS03RCHistory4A
|
So, you used to be in charge? How did you end up here?
|
Anger 5
|
That lasted until 'bout 18 years ago, when those ambitious backbiters like Li and her little team showed up.
|
12
|
| Anger 50
|
She came in with her big "Purity Project" pipe dream, and my whole staff started working with her, those traitors!
|
13
|
| Anger 60
|
She even took my seat on the council. By then, I was glad to leave it behind. But hell if I'm leaving the city I made great!
|
14
|
| MS03RCHistory4B
|
If that's so, why are you stuck down here?
|
Anger 5
|
About 18 years ago, Li and her ambitious little team of backbiters showed up. Ruined everything around here, they did!

| MS03RCHistory5A
|
Do you have any hard evidence of all this?
|
Anger 25
|
Of course I do! A good scientist always keeps track of their data!
|
18
|
| Disgust 50
|
Here! They probably don't even remember, but I kept the records of that first council meeting. Take them, if it'll put them in their place!
|
19
|
| MS03RCHistory5B
|
I can't imagine why she'd be more popular. Even assuming this is all true.
|
Anger 25
|
What're you suggesting, you little brat? I may not be on the science team anymore, but I still know how to keep records!
|

|
21
|
| MS03RCHistory5Purity
|
What do you know about Project Purity?
|
Disgust 50
|
Who cares? It's some hydroponics pipe dream that Li's been working on forever. Waste of time and effort, I say.
|
22
|
| Disgust 75
|
Apparently, though, my teams cared more about it than they did about little things like defense systems or making this ship float again.
|
23

Treacherous bastards, all of them.

|
| MS08AskForProof
|
I'm trying to convince Harkness he's an android, but he wants proof.
|
Surprise 25
|
There's an audio log he himself recorded before the mind wipe. I've already told you, it's on my computer. There's also before and after pictures.
|
25
|
| Surprise 50
|
Download those things and show him. That will be all the proof he needs.
|
26
|
| Surprise 10
|
But I'm telling you, be careful. Harkness is wound tight. If you go poking holes in his reality, he might come undone. Trust me. You don't want that. {trying to warn someone who is about to do something stupid}
|
27
|
| MS08Pinkerton
|
Let's discuss the facial reconstruction and mind wipe you did for the Android.
|
Anger 75
|
What're you talking about, boy? I don't know anything about any of that, and a what-did-you-call-it? An android? What's that? {feigning anger to cover his hiding a secret}

|
29
|
| MS08PinkertonA1
|
Let's just say it's in your best interest to tell me what I want to know.
|
Happy 10
|
Fine, whatever. This android, calls himself Harkness now, comes in and wants a memory job. I took new memories, and replaced his old ones. {superficially begrudgingly (deep down glad to tell someone about his exploits)}
|
30
|
| Happy 100
|
Don't believe anyone's done that before. Certainly not down here. That Commonwealth tech isn't all that fancy when it comes down to it. {glad to tell someone about his exploits}
|
31
|
| Happy 50
|
I'm also the only one in the wasteland with the skill and the nerve to perform facial surgery. That android flesh aint so different than ours. {bragging}
|
32
|
| Surprise 50
|
You want proof? I documented the whole thing. So I could rub it in the face of Dr. Li when I need to rankle her feathers. I hate that snooty bitch. {bragging}
|
33
|
| MS08PinkertonA2
|
Maybe 100 caps will jog your memory?
|
Disgust 50
|
It's things like bottlecaps, and property, and ownership and all that nonsense that makes a person think he's better than another. Bah! {bah humbug}
|
34
|
| Surprise 50
|
But I'll take your caps just the same. This android came in as one person, and he left as someone else. I replaced his face AND his memories! {accepting a bribe (glad to talk about how smart he is)}
|

Sorry, I must have you confused with somebody else. Forget I mentioned it.
|
Surprise 25
|
Hmph. No one else could do it, that's for damn sure. {grumbling under his breath (he wants to talk about how great he is, but doesn't want to blow his cover)}
|
39
|
| Anger 50
|
Just get out of here. Can't you leave an old man in peace? And stay away from my stuff! {grumpy}

Hope the Mirelurks get you, damn nosy kid. {(under his breath)}

| MS08PinkertonAboutAndroid1
|
So why'd you help the android?
|
Happy 50
|
Ha! Why do you think? I wanted to crack open that Commonwealth can opener to see what was inside.
|
42
|
| Neutral 50
|
There's stuff in there I'd only heard about, and even then I didn't believe it. I can see why that Zimmer feller wanted him back so bad.
|
43
|
| MS08PinkertonAboutAndroid2
|
What do you know about this android Railroad?
|
Neutral 50
|
Bunch of bleeding heart morons if you ask me. They're going to get themselves killed one of these days. And for what? Machine liberation?
|
44
|
| Neutral 50
|
But, they have brought me some really interesting tech over the years, so I guess they're okay. And that android! He was the chance of a lifetime.
|
45
|
| MS08PinkertonAboutAndroid3
|
What do you know about the Commonwealth?
|
Neutral 50
|
Most of it's a blasted nothing, just like here. But there's talk. Rumors, mostly. About a place called the Institute.
|
46
|
| Neutral 50
|
That's where Zimmer and that android came from. God knows what else they got goin' on in there, but it puts our tech to shame, that's for damn sure.
|

|

|
I took a little peek at the files in your computer. Tell me about the android.
|
Neutral 50
|
You hacked my computer? You've got some skills. It's been a while since I've met someone smart enough to best me. So I'll let that slide. {shocked}

I'm sorry you don't get along with Dr. Li. But we were discussing the android.

That witch ruined my life, but you're right. Who gives a crap about any of that. You want your precious proof. {annoyed}
|

It's all in my computer; here's the password. See for yourself. Hell, just take these pictures and this holotape. Straight from the synthman's lips.
|
51
|
| Neutral 50
|
Just don't go telling Harkness though. He won't believe you anyway. And you really don't want to see him upset. He can be a bit... inhospitable. {warning someone but betting his advice will be ignored anyway}
|
52
|
| MS08PinkertonB2
|
What's she got to do with this? Show me this "proof" about the android.
|
Disgust 50
|
Well, she's got nothing to do with anything, except ruining my whole goddamn life. But I can see you don't give a crap about any of that. Fine. {annoyed}

Harkness should be told. You'd want to know if you were an android.

I suppose you're right. But don't worry, I didn't really wipe his memories. I just buried them. But you can get them back.
|

All you need to do is use the recall code. Just say to him, "Activate A3-21 Recall Code Violet" and that will activate the hidden subroutines.

| MS08PinkertonC2
|
What if this evidence doesn't work? What if Harkness doesn't believe me?
|

Well, there is something else you could use. Look, I didn't really wipe his memories. Okay? I just sort of filed them away. But you can get 'em back.

There's something you aren't telling me. Isn't there?
|

Oh, all right. So maybe I didn't wipe his mind, like he asked. But I buried it! Deep! Almost as good, really. But it's still there. Still accessible.

You made it past my defenses, which proves you aren't a dummy. AND you haven't killed me, so I suppose you aren't here to do that. {considering}
